key” enables the access to all open-source data stored in the base. The second level of data access, named “red key” is reserved for legal authorities, state institutions, and state government. The “red key” opens the part of the database with confidential data. The owner of the “red key” also has access to the open source data, as the “blue key” owner. Only state institutions and agencies which have a contract with TOCSearch have an access to the red key data and are red key members. Future uses In the next phase of the project, several analytical features are to be incorporated in the database. Analytical tools will provide statistical information analysis of the global terrorist network. A researcher will be able to analyze terrorism trends over time and to compare different aspects of terrorism between countries, regions and terrorist groups (for example: type of terrorist attacks, level of organization, tactics, communication level, size of a terrorist group, age or race of its members, and many others). The results of statistical analysis will be presented graphically in various charts, showing the dependencies and / or the comparisons of the chosen aspects. The chart type can also be chosen by the user. An analytically focused system will be used to understand the structure of different terrorist organizations with respect to particular attack types or regions of their activity. By using this system, intelligence analysts will be able to develop hypotheses and then validate them (or not) against the data in the database. In this way, it will be possible to provide certain predictions of international terrorism trends, seasonality, and periodicity of terrorist events. In the future phase of the project, image search features are also planned. This tool will enable to search the image data base for related photographs of individuals or terrorist attacks by using keywords (individual's name, group / organization name, or the part of the name, specific terrorist incident, date, etc.). Regarding the practical aspects of the database, the TOCSearch data were primarily collected by academic groups. This means that the development team was under no political or government pressure in terms of how to collect the data or how to classify them. Although TOCSearch is still in its construction phase, it has already been used in the purpose of Security of the Olympic Games in Beijing 2008, and was also used in the purpose of Security of
